2027-2028 LoveNotes! Book Submissions
Upcoming LoveNotes! Submission Opportunities:
LoveNotes! Real Stories. Real People. Real Love., 2nd Edition – Again, I’m looking for stories of first love, last love, forever love, unrequited love, the against-all-odds love, gay love, trans love, the one-that-got-away love, happily-ever-after love, unexpressed love, if-I-could-do-it-again love, online love, arranged marriage love, worst date-ever love, friends-to-lovers love, never-ending love, oops!-that-was-a-mistake love, second-time-around love, and on and on.

LoveNotes! Dating Diary – Stories of your first dates, last dates, disaster dates, online dates, blind dates–your stories of inspiration and intestinal fortitude to help others navigate the dating world.
LoveNotes! How We Met – Stories of how you met THE ONE.
You get the idea—any story about romantic love in any of its incarnations. No stories about how much you love your mom, kid, teacher, etc. The best stories are ones in which a single moment is explored that illustrates a larger message (hope, heartbreak, tenderness, fear, etc). In other words, have some action in your submission, not just exposition.
Ultimately, a LoveNotes! story is the kind of yarn in which Cupid has shot someone in the heart. This time there are three requirements:
- Your story must be true.
- Your story must be 1000 words or fewer.
- Submission as a Word Document (double-spaced, header: Last Name, First Name, page # top right)
